Denver's offense set a dubious all-time AFL record in 1966 with the fewest total points scored in a season, with 196, or 14 per game.[3] The Broncos are the last team in major professional football (AFL or NFL) to go an entire game without picking up a first down,[4] which they did in Week One at Houston.[5]
